TIG welding overhead: How I run the pedal laying on my back!

[chinoatx04]

Thats pretty good, I set the amps on the machine and hammer down the peddle

Dude check out my welding videos, you should help me out.. Im stuck. lol

I'm not so good at aluminum, but I dropped a few comments on your video.

@amaedesign No gas was coming out because the damn collet was backwards! haha my bad. Now its amazing compared to what it was! In regards to your leg, and the pedal, should i set my max amperage on the dial then pulse it just like you are doing? I haven't been pulsing mine i was just running it from like 10% down to all the way down as a tester.

have you tried welding aluminum, im thinking about getting this welder Syncrowave 200. Thanks for that vid.

[amaedesign]

@hangoutsumtime Yes, the Syncrowave is very good at aluminum, proved by results from other welders. I've played around win AL, but my results aren't pretty so far.

[jameswswanson]

you could use a pulser

[amaedesign]

@jameswswanson True, but my Syncrowave doesn't have that option installed, so I improvise.

an adjustable pedal mounting board (made of square tubing?) might be nice...something heavy enough to take the foot pressure and not move around...the pedal anchored in with a couple screws or even small vice grips?

[amaedesign]

Interesting idea!

This method works best when you have to go to the bathroom really bad.

@JohnnyWeld LOL!
